archive (e: twitter [archive] too, archive for nitter seems a bit funky)

it’d be nice if these dipshits, like, came off a factory line somewhere. then you could bin them right at the QC failure

                it would Increase Utility if they knew about it, but then also @self and @dgerard would have more work

                need some complicated Yud-math to solve this very clear intrinsically conflicted dilemma

                  there’s comedy in them not knowing, and there’s also comedy in them knowing

                  we can’t go back to not knowing from knowing, so I’m enjoying the not knowing era of awful.systems while it lasts

                    The new location is literally, not figuratively, in the sticky comment on the top post at the old place. But that’s probably asking too much of their reading skills.

            Well we are, I have written thousands of bots ready to manipulate public opinion on twitter. On that note, anybody know what: “SyntaxError: expected ‘:’” means? Help me my python is dying.

        btw idle suggestion to trim all the gunk on your URLs (the ?s=46&t=nT....) when sticking 'em into archivers, otherwise permas the trackershit

          running our links through a tracker cleanup library by default (with an option to turn it off for edge cases) might be some good low hanging fruit once I’m doing lemmy features again (I need to start keeping a list of these)

          e: my brain completely skipped over the fact that the tracker links are being archived. still, squashing tracker shit on our end has been in the back of my head for a while

            I’ve been eyeballing a solution for doing this on phone, and basilisk help me it might need to be a fucking app (because all other options are worse)

            I fucking hate apple’s bullshit walled garden self-protectionist feature-hampering stance on things so fucking much (the app store dev license fee; the hobbled browsers; the pageforcing that a lot of the internet has started doing and which the reduced feature scope of mobile safari explicitly blocks you from handling; …)

              shit, dm me if you find anything. I used to have a Pythonista script that’d strip some types of tracking out of links, but it’s hideously out of date and didn’t tie that well into my workflow (it was a share extension that’d drop the cleaned up link onto the clipboard)

                  the rules database is definitely nicely portable — it wouldn’t be too bad at all to write a little bit of code to parse that and reuse it

                    Yeah this was the direction of my thinking as well

                    As for the functionality, it may need to be a share target that sinks to something. Likely pastebuffer, but I really want to see if I could make it sink to multiple targets as an automatic flow. In terms of usage, it immediately feels like something people did with IFTTT and Yahoo Pipes of “old” (god I miss the late 00s early 10s internet vibe before every fucking company decided their revenue model was captive datahold[0])

                    Honestly unsure whether it could be integrated into safari, need to see how hobbled that interface is. And whether it would interfere with things like 1Blocker, or runs in pipeline. Critical spoon deficit this year tho, life’s been a fucker

                    [0] - I have a rantpost boiling about the wider phenomenon of this. Fucking advertising as the de facto value exchange model of the internet 😩😭
